How To Make Balm Of Gilead

2 weeks ago | bcoutdoorsmagazine.com | Michaela Ludwig

The fragrant scent that emits from the buds of trees in the Populus species is one that is synonymous with spring – rich, fresh and invigorating. If I could capture the smell in a jar to have beside me all year long, I would. The good news is, you can jar up that smell by making a batch of balm of Gilead. In addition to smelling amazing, this salve is an all purpose one that can be used to provide relief to small abrasions, dry skin or insect bites.
Whitetail Tacos • BC Outdoors Magazine

Tacos are one of our favourite easy dinners to cook up on those evenings when it feels like there’s not enough time to get all things done. While I like to use stew meat for this recipe, that’s because we butcher all our own wild game – and I spend a significant amount of time trimming the meat to ensure even the stew meat melts in your mouth when pan fried.

Unravelling The Mystery Of Fannin’s Sheep

1 month ago | bcoutdoorsmagazine.com | Brian Harris |Michaela Ludwig

It’s late summer, the beginning of hunting season in northern BC. Mark and Vince pack up a small mountain of hunting gear and leave Vancouver Airport for Fort Nelson. Upon arrival, the two men retrieve two crates and arrange for transportation further north to Stone Mountain Provincial Park. There, from the crates, they assemble two mountain bikes and two trailers loaded with gear. Following old mining roads, they head into the northern Rocky Mountains.
Venison Steak Sandwich

1 month ago | bcoutdoorsmagazine.com | Raeanne O’Meara |Michaela Ludwig

Give me all the steak sandwiches, please! This is not the time, nor the place to be using up those higher-end cuts; in fact, this is the opportunity to maybe use up that pack of steaks that has been rolling around in the freezer for a while. The only non-negotiable? Making sure to cut the steak against the grain, to prevent a chewy mouthful.
OPINION: Holding The Government Accountable

1 month ago | bcoutdoorsmagazine.com | Steve Hamilton |Michaela Ludwig

Oh, what a legacy he leaves. As we continue along in this new year, we find ourselves facing yet another round of firearm bans introduced by the government – adding even more restrictions to Canada’s already labyrinthine gun laws. In the waning moments of his leadership, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has made a last gasp effort to establish some kind of “legacy” for himself, and not have his leadership reduced to one embroiled in scandal after scandal.
From The Hills To The Lake

The sun is beating down, meltwater is starting to run and the the birds are singing away – is spring here, or is this the dreaded fool’s spring that boosts our spirits for a short while before disappearing into the fold of winter again? The evidence leans towards fool’s spring, as March typically brings with it, at the very least, a couple weeks of wintery weather before giving way to spring. Whether it’s here to stay or not, this is the time to get out and enjoy the outdoors.

Learning How To Bow Hunt

1 month ago | bcoutdoorsmagazine.com | Timothy Fowler |Michaela Ludwig

Learning to hunt is a challenge, but learning to hunt with a bow is an exponentially more difficult challenge. Here is some advice for hunters wanting to elevate their game to include bow hunting. Why Bow Hunt? Bow hunting opens the door to special seasons and bow-only hunting areas. Being a bow hunter may even lower the threshold for permission to access private property. Bow-only seasons tend to be close to population centres, which means hunting opportunities might be closer to home.
